OUT NOW VIA REACH RECORDS – LISTEN HERE

ANNOUNCES TENTH STUDIO ALBUM ‘RECONSTRUCTION’ COMING SOON
4X GRAMMY® Award-winning artist, author, actor and activist Lecrae announces his highly anticipated tenth studio album, Reconstruction, due this summer. Alongside the album announcement, Lecrae shares the lead single “Tell No Lie” featuring Reach Records signee Jackie Hill Perry – available to stream now on all digital platforms. Listen HERE.

 

Speaking about the new single, Lecrae shares: “‘Tell No Lie’ is about cutting through the noise we live in every day: social media, AI, fake flexing, and the pressure to perform like everything’s perfect. The truth is, most of us are just giraffes on ice skates doing our best not to fall. This song is both a mirror and a megaphone – it reflects the struggle, and it calls out the truth. Men lie, women lie, but God never lies. That’s what me and Jackie Hill Perry wanted to bring to the surface.” 

 

Flipping the iconic sample from “Amores Como el Nuestro” by Jerry Rivera (also known from Shakira’s “Hips Don’t Lie”), Lecrae and Jackie confront the empty posturing in both hip-hop culture and spiritual spaces, challenging the lies people tell to gain status, validation, or influence. Triumphant and dynamic, the hard-hitting track showcases Lecrae’s no-holds-barred edge, in his quintessentially straight forward voice, declaring, “Please just keep it real with me/Cross my heart/Dot my i’s/Tuck that fire/Tell no lie.” 

 

“Tell No Lie” follows May’s collaborative mixtape, Get Well Soon, with Bay Area’s Miles Minnick. The 7-track project, which includes standout guest appearances from E-40, YeloHill, and DJ Mal-Ski to  name a few, drew acclaim from NPR, Okayplayer, Essence, Vibe Magazine, HotNewHipHop, and more. 

 

Lecrae’s new single arrives in the midst of a whirlwind year for the multi-platinum indie artist, following his surprise appearance at Rolling Loud California earlier this year. There, he joined Miles (Minnick) on stage to perform music from Get Well Soon at the world’s largest hip-hop festival – and even held an altar call after their performance. 

 

Continuing his mission of bringing Christ to the culture, he now reunites musically with Jackie for the first time in nine years to disrupt the status quo. “Tell No Lie” sets the tone for an unstoppable and intentional run. It also heralds the arrival of Lecrae’s forthcoming album Reconstruction – his first solo project since 2022’s Church Clothes 4 LP.

ABOUT LECRAE
Multi Grammy-Award winning rap artist Lecrae has left an indelible mark in the world of music and entertainment. His music explores universal topics that bind, challenging industry norms with his faith-based rhyming style. He emerged in 2004 with the release of his debut album, Real Talk, and launched his own label, Reach Records. The perennial superstar has proved to not only be a gospel success, but he’s also crossed over into hip-hop and used his platform to foster a global fanbase. He’s remained consistent and staunch relevant throughout the 2000s, proven repeatedly with groundbreaking albums such as Rebel (2008), which made history as the first Christian hip-hop album to reach #1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart; Gravity (2012), netting his first career Grammy; and Anomaly (2017), the first Christian rap album to go gold. The last song on Anomaly, titled “Messengers” with for KING & COUNTRY, earned Lecrae his second Grammy win (for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song) at the 57th Grammy Awards. The LP also earned him his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200. 2022 was highlighted by the arrival of Church Clothes 4, and the deluxe version, Church Clothes 4: Dry Clean Only, arrived in 2023 – thus symbolizing the end of Lecrae’s popular mixtape series. In 2024, Lecrae started off the year by adding two more Grammys under his belt – one for his Church Clothes 4 project (Best Contemporary Christian Music Album) and the other for his “Your Power” collaboration with Tasha Cobbs (Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song). Over the years, Lecrae has garnered many awards and accolades, including four Grammy wins, two chart-topping gospel albums, a gold and platinum certification, and countless honors. Beyond the music, Lecrae’s prestige has grown considerably. He’s a New York Times bestselling author, using writing and activism to inspire local communities. The latter is exemplified in his philanthropic work to help instill hope in incarcerated individuals and bring attention to mass incarceration. This has proven to be a recurring theme in Lecrae’s previous partnerships with several nonprofit organizations such as Love Beyond Walls, Prison Fellowship and Send Musicians To Prison on similar initiatives. As a record executive, Lecrae has provided a pathway for artists who share his ethos such as Tedashii, Trip Lee, Andy Mineo, 1K Phew, WHATUPRG, Wande, Hulvey, and Limoblaze – all of whom are signed to his Reach Records imprint. Simultaneously, he remains a pillar of the culture at large, infiltrating the podcasting community with his show ‘The Deep End With Lecrae.’ Throughout his career, Lecrae continues to be a voice for positive change, and his work amplifies his impact.
